At NASA's Johnson Space Center, the Flight Sciences Laboratory (FSL) is the computing backbone behind nearly every major human spaceflight program - ISS, Orion, SLS, Commercial Crew, Lunar Gateway, and the Human Landing System: 700+ machines, 26,000 cores, 10+ petabytes of storage, 1,000+ users. MRI Technologies, supporting NASA under the JETS II contract, is hiring an HPC Linux System Administrator to help run and improve that cluster - a hands-on, on-premises HPC role administering the job scheduler and parallel filesystem, supporting containerized HPC workflows and CI/CD (including Jacamar), and working directly with the scientists and engineers behind NASA's human spaceflight mission. This is not a public-cloud, DevOps-only, or Kubernetes-only position.
Your HPC experience doesn't have to say "NASA" on it. Another NASA center, a national lab, a university/research computing center, or another government agency all count - and your title doesn't have to have been "System Administrator." We want someone who'll bring fresh ideas from wherever they've been.
Based in Houston, TX at NASA Johnson Space Center - fully remote considered for the right candidate with strong, demonstrated HPC experience.
Required - Core HPC Experience (Must Have)
